Chapter 168: Ch 168: That Sudden Anger - Part 2

One admirable thing about Mary was that she did not hold back against anyone. That included her mistress as well.

Layla's small body was barely strong enough to drag Mary to her level and choke her, but the taller demoness used her powers not only to break free but also to grab Layla's arm and twist it behind her back.

The more time Layla spent in that choke, the more she struggled before she eventually tired herself out, and her limbs gave in.

This hold also made all the anger flush out of her system, and her mind felt clearer.

As soon as Layla could think again, she realized she had been acting out of it. This was not how she usually behaved.

"You can let go of me now. I am fine. Whatever came over me is no longer controlling me. I will not attack you unnecessarily."
